This recipe was yummy but either I did something wrong or not sure? It kind of fell apart at some points when making the patties and when frying it. I also thing that crab cakes can be heavy because they absorb so much oil and have mayo in them. Instead of tartar sauce I made a chipotle mayo because my family likes some spicy things but overall, good flavor and would try again but I'd like to try a different recipe next time. Worth a shot though and I love the idea of the BLT!

Delicious crab cake recipe! The homemade dill tartar sauce has convinced me that homemade is much better than jarred tartar sauce. Simple to make and delicious! This will be a summer go-to recipe. Wonderful with corn-on-the cob!
